14 seconds: Susan Taylor, 57, Manchester, United Kingdom

Asked to show me her phone, stopwatch running, Taylor laughed and declared, "That is so unfair."<br> <br> She took off her backpack, unzipped it, reached in for her purse &#8212; and found the phone in the purse side pocket. Fourteen seconds in all.<br> <br> She tries to always buy "medium-size" purses. When they're bigger, "You can't find anything."

Asked to show me her phone, stopwatch running, Taylor laughed and declared, "That is so unfair."

She took off her backpack, unzipped it, reached in for her purse — and found the phone in the purse side pocket. Fourteen seconds in all.

She tries to always buy "medium-size" purses. When they're bigger, "You can't find anything."
